Fire shutters in Folkestone: the essentials

They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat. A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter.

Because they are part of the building's fire precautions, they must be maintained and tested regularly. Product certification and test evidence come from the manufacturer, and we provide the documentation with the shutter.

Specification options

  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover

Rules in England

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Questions about fire shutters in Folkestone

Do you cover Folkestone?

Yes. Folkestone (CT19) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Dover, Ashford (Kent) and Deal.

What rating do I need?

The rating must match the fire-resisting wall the shutter is in, which is set by the building's fire strategy or fire risk assessment. We work from that, or from your fire engineer's specification.

Do you certify fire shutters?

The fire rating belongs to the manufacturer's tested product. We supply certified shutters with their documentation and install them to the manufacturer's instructions.

Will a fire shutter close in a power cut?

Fire shutters are designed to close on loss of power or on a fire signal, usually by gravity with a governed speed, so they fail safe.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
